Please note that this is the Narutopedia's article on information on the ability. If you are looking for the article on information on the character then you should head to Asura Path.

The Asura Path (修羅道, Shuradō) grants the user the ability to summon mechanised armour, augmenting their body with extra limbs and various robotic weaponry.[1] When used by Pain, the Asura Path was channelled through the body of a ninja puppeteer.

In addition to its immense offensive power, the Asura Path's body was incredibly resilient to damage. It survived the detonation of a Lightning Release Shadow Clone, a massive punch from Chōza Akimichi, and a direct hit from Kakashi's Lightning Cutter. When weakened but not completely disabled, the Asura Path was still dangerous. Kakashi noted that he did not have enough chakra or stamina to completely destroy its body and it wasn't until Naruto attacked it with a Rasengan while in Sage Mode that it was rendered totally incapacitated. Despite being used frequently to provide heavy firepower, the Asura Path was readily sacrificed to protect the even more powerful Deva Path, acting as a human shield against Kakashi's Lightning Cutter.

During Naruto's battle with Nagato, a set of the Asura Path's arms appeared on Nagato's body, possibly alluding that Asura Path's structure may be its actual powers rather than it completely being body modifications. One of the arms could detach to reveal a set of mechanical tendrils to restrain an enemy, while the other would transform into a small arm-mounted cannon.[2]
